Seeking Real Answers
Clara and Emma visited a new physician, Dr. Rivera, who was horrified by the situation. Rivera conducted a thorough examination and confirmed that Emma’s pregnancy was due to a hormone-laden injection. “This wasn’t a standard vaccine,” Rivera explained. The news left Clara reeling, feeling the weight of her failure to protect Emma. Emma, however, felt a strange sense of vindication. Finally, someone believed her, but the damage had already been done.
Dr. Leslie’s Justification
Clara confronted Leslie once more, this time armed with Rivera’s findings. Leslie remained unapologetic. “This treatment is groundbreaking; Emma’s future health could’ve been at risk without it,” she insisted. Clara’s voice shook with rage. “You took away her choice, and you betrayed us.” Leslie dismissed Clara’s accusations as overreactions, claiming she had Emma’s best interest in mind. The conversation ended with Clara storming out, vowing to never return to Leslie’s care.
